Need: More detailed Release Notes

[mr-dang]

There are many welcome features in versions 2.0.630+, but some of the changes broke an important app of mine. 

I've read the What's New blog and sent in session-ids and fiddler traces, but have not been able to pinpoint the exact problem yet.

I am asking that in addition to listing new features when a new version comes out, can the PowerApps team also list out what bugs have been fixed and what controls have been tweaked? 

If I can get a list of changes that had happened, I can troubleshoot and fix parts of my app on my own. But without anymore information to go on, the only other option is to rebuild my app from scratch. If this list doesn't exist, can the team hire someone to get this information compiled?

A tad late to the party but I've also suggested this under Ideas multiple times. Apparently, one of them is under review but no news from that front.

@v-monli-msft, @CarlosFigueira, @v-micsh-msft, @GregLi and other people I suspect are PA staff --

Any updates on this?

And as a reference, I've found some other program's release notes that have things I would want PA Release Notes to have.

In there, you can see sections like New, Fixed, Changed, and Unresolved. The current release notes already discuss the New functions but it doesn't have the others. 

A Fixed section could cover the bugs, especially reported ones, that are fixed. This would be extremely helpful rather than us experimenting if that feature works well again in the next update. For example, that bug where the data sources tab isn't scrollable. I felt it was ridiculous I had to find this obscure post by some PA staff that it was fixed to know it was fixed in the latest update (I like references). 

A Changed section could cover, well, changed features in PA. For example, the replacement of the Disabled property by the DisplayMode property; the change of context vars from being weakly typed to being strongly typed; the change in the Collect() function being able to add columns (IIRC, there was a period where if the Collect() couldn't add records if it didn't match the table structure that was already there. Then again, I was experimenting/learning some more PA stuff back then so I might be wrong.) Not exactly fixes but improvements (in some sense) brought in PA that could affect how the old apps work, especially when the new changes are not compatible with the old settings.

An Unresolved section is something I would really, really want. Just adding this section -- letting PA app creators know that their bug reports are heard and recognized; that the PA dev team is working on the bugs but haven't made it in time for the update; that communication is actually happening -- I feel, would greatly improve the PowerApps experience.

I'm not asking the Release Notes to be patterned exactly like this. I'm not asking that it should be this extremely detailed thing. But at least it be more specific than what it is right now -- which is simply a list of new features. 

I really hope that the PA staff is actively listening and understanding to the things this community is asking for.

P.S. I just read this message over again and it somehow feels like a rant honestly. In any case, this was actually cathartic.
